Some culprits as well could be those small candies you stash in your bag or pocket. Chewing gum, mints and the like can affect your diet and your ability to stay in ketosis.
- Snacks are your best friend on this drive.

Having keto-friendly foods readily available to you ensures that your body is continuously in ketone production and uses fat from your diet as your source of fuel.
